Spectacular Beachfront House w/Htd. Pool on Famous French Leave Beach

"Any closer and I would be in heaven" is the wooden sign that hangs outside The Beach House. The interiors reflect island life with island style, a mixture of the old and new. Original one-of-a-kind pieces adorn this wonderful beach home. Vaulted ceilings, glass doors that step out onto a fabulous (and enormous) deck, and a view of the most breathtaking pink-sand beach lends itself to the ultimate island getaway. Step off the deck onto the amazing beach and walk into the beautiful Atlantic Ocean.

The Beach House has a beautiful pool with ocean views. The pool can be heated, if desired, for a charge of $350 per week.

The Beach House is located directly on French Leave Beach, a mile-long crescent of pink sand that has been ranked top 20 in the world. It is located on the prestigious Banks Road of Governors Harbour, the premier location on Eleuthera. The town of Governors Harbour, with restaurants, groceries stores, shops, and banks, is only a mile away.

The Beach House has just been totally renovated (work completed in August of 2016). A mixture of modern and rustic beach living is the decor and theme throughout. Concrete counter tops, stainless steel appliances, and a double commercial sink are part of the modern and well equipped kitchen. The dining table built from reclaimed island wood comfortably seats eight with additional seating for four at the kitchen island. The living area with its white couches and hand-crafted island straw mats looks out through a wall of glass onto the deck and French Leave Beach beyond. Relax outside on the beach-view veranda swinging day beds.

The Beach House has three bedrooms, each with their own bathroom. Two of the bedrooms have king beds with ocean and beach views. The third bedroom has a king bed which can be converted to two twins (please request in advance) with a tropical garden view.

The house is fully air conditioned and every room has ceiling fans.

The large outdoor deck is the perfect place to watch the sunrise in the morning, sunbathe through the day, or enjoy a relaxing, tranquil afternoon. Equipped dining and lounging spaces and a gas grill, it is the ultimate getaway.

With its vast veranda and direct beachfront location, the Beach House is ideal for hosting weddings and other events. Additional charges may apply for events.

Amenities at The Beach House include air conditioning throughout, wifi, TV with a Firestick (no cable), a washer and dryer, three kayaks, paddle boards and a gas grill.

The property was just perfect for our group of 6. Although we cooked very little, everything we needed was already there. Plenty of dishes, pans and even quite a few spices/condiments. The pool is showing it's age and could use a little TLC, but other than that, everything was just as nice as we imagined by the pictures online. The beach is as perfect as they come and we enjoyed all of the floats, kayaks and chairs provided. We will totally stay at The Beach House again and highly recommend to anyone that is searching for the perfect vacation getaway!

A Week in Paradise

We were a group of three couples, all active seniors in need of the perfect place to relax and enjoy the beauty and pace of Eleuthera. As soon as we arrived, after a frustrating trip from Nassau on unreliable puddlejump airline, we realized that it was all worth it. Everything was perfect. The interior of the Beach House had everything we could need. The beds were very comfortable, plenty of towels and beach towels, and the kitchen well was provisioned. Outside, by the pool there are sun areas, areas to dine and a wonderful shaded area with 2 large built in sofas. Just feet away, down the steps past the outdoor shower with hot and cold water, is the short path to the most magnificent beach. There is a thatched shade area with 6 reclining chaises that look out onto the water. Walks on the beach, swimming, reading and naps in the shaded pavilion were the best cure for a long winter in the Northeast. If only we could have stayed and avoided the return to ice and snow! We would all love to return. The owner, Michelle, is gracious and we frequented her restaurant, The Buccaneer, several times. Highly recommend.

Beach House Bliss

This was our first visit to Eleuthera and it did not disappoint! The house is located on one of the most stunning beaches on the island with views to die for! The Beach House is well equipped and had everything we needed for a wonderful and relaxing stay. Great quality cookware and sharp knives were a lovely surprise as most rentals tend to lack in that area. Plenty of dinnerware and glassware etc. There is a 5 gallon water dispenser which was fantastic. Bedrooms were spacious and we found the beds super comfortable. Plenty of towels and extra linens if needed. The outdoor space was wonderful and lots of little spots to hang out in. There is a “covered patio” that provides shelter from the elements and is a great place to take nap, sip coffee or enjoy a cocktail. Recommend heating the pool in the “winter” months as the ocean can be cool and it’s a treat to warm up in the pool after a day in cooler waters. Plenty of lounge chairs, beach toys and “extras”! The No-See-Ums are NO joke. Bug spray is a must as well as long sleeves/pants at dusk/dawn. The house is newly equipped with a generator! Power did go out briefly and it was great having the generator kick on! Michelle is a fabulous hostess. She was extremely communicative and readily available when needed. They say “Eleuthera is not for everyone!”…. However, it definitely captured our hearts! It was hard leaving the island and we are already planning our return trip.

WE were pleasantly Surprised at the beautiful beach just off the deck! The house was perfect and fully stocked with everything we needed. Water and ice were also supplied by Michelle which was great! We really didn’t need to leave the house. Although we had some really Windy days we were able to snorkel later in the week. We’ve stayed in quite a few places but this one far outweighed the rest!

I would buy this house

For 25 years, my family has stayed at a beautiful, private resort in the BVI. We counted the days from the moment we left until we’d return the next year. This year, new spouses and grandchildren made our group too big to go back, so we decided to rent a house on an island as quiet as the one we loved. We chose Eleuthera because few people lived there and it there’s been hardly any development. I had several requirements: authentic island decor; a prefect, pristine beach; resort amenities like beach chairs, a palapa, snorkel gear and kayaks. And last, a staff that would cook great food and make us feel at home. We got it all. Our host, Michelle, was fantastic in every way and made sure our two weeks were perfect. We had the same feeling at the end we had at our long-time resort: don’t make us go.

Beach House

We visited the Beach House in November for Thanksgiving week, we were a group of six and it did not disappoint. Aside from the incredible location with a private path to the beach that opened up to the most spectacular pristine beach, the house was perfect. It was spacious, clean and well appointed with everything that we could possibly need. We have visited Eleuthera quite a few times over the last five years and one of our favorite spots is the Buccaneer (the staff is always so friendly), just a short drive from the house we enjoyed breakfast, dinner and live music on our visit. They have added a nice gift shop, which has ice cream as well. Eleuthera is a beautiful island with the most beautiful beaches that we have ever seen. We love this island and the people are always wonderful friendly and kind. They have lots of great places to eat, we had Thanksgiving dinner at the 1640, Fishbones was a great spot and of course the Bougainvillea never disappoints. Make sure that you visit Normas gift shop, you will feel like you are with family when you walk through the door We have stayed in several homes on our visits and the Beachouse is a place that we will look forward to coming back to.

From the bottle of wine the second we opened the door to the spectacular location - we couldn’t have asked for a better trip to paradise! This house is exactly as described. Bring a small carryon bag for your trip because you won’t need more than your swimsuit and a toothbrush at this location. The beach is clean, private and the water is absolutely gorgeous. We took a few excursions but each day could not wait to return to this little slice of heaven!

We'll be back

We've stayed all over the Bahamas but this was our first time to Eleuthera. Michele's house is the best home we have rented in the entire country. She and Matt could not have made our stay any more enjoyable in spite of a tropical storm and a 6 p.m. COVID curfew imposed on the island. Next time, the restaurants will be open (we hope) and for all of you reading this, make no mistake, this is the place for you. Excellently located, decorated, and comfortable with the beach (fantastic) and pool steps away.

Beautiful!!!

We stayed in this home for spring break 2017, celebrating my son's upcoming graduation from high school and our 20th wedding anniversary. The home is absolutely beautiful and as described. The view is spectacular!! We stayed for 7 nights and although we did see people on the beach, they were few and far between. We felt like we had the entire beach to ourselves! Divine for those who want a quiet get away with not a lot of crowds. Michele and her daughter greeted us upon arrival and were delightful. They offered to help with anything we needed while we were there as well as gave us recommendations for eating etc. A big plus to the house was the water cooler. That was a nice perk so we didn't have to buy tons of bottles of water. Michele explained where to take the jug when it was empty in order to refill. That is a nice accommodation that we had never had in a rental before. Also, Michele's family restaurant Buccaneer as wonderful. Food was great and they were very willing to accommodate us in making things for my son who has several allergies. Matthew with Eleuthera Vacation Properties was wonderful as well. He helped us in finding the house as we started our process of looking. He definitely led us to the right property on the island. He has many to choose from and I am sure all of his properties are delightful depending on what you desire. Matthew also has a document he gave us which gives you all the activities, dining, excursions, rental cars, how to get there etc on the island. It was more than helpful and we used his guidance in booking those things. We also took a day to sail with Bob Knaus on his sailboat. That was wonderful and a very neat experience for our family who had never done that before. Highly recommend that as well. We will be back!!! Definitely one of our most memorable vacations.
